Tottenham sealed Gareth Bale’s return to the club on Saturday evening with Gareth Bale has expressing his delight at sealing a return to his former club, insisting that it “feels great to be back,” as well as setting his sights on helping the club win silverware once again.<\/p>\n
Spurs made their move to try and re-sign the Welsh international earlier this week and officially confirmed his return on Saturday evening, announcing that he had returned to the club on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n
Bale’s return to the Premier League comes a little over seven years after he left Spurs to join Real Madrid, a move that for the most part worked out excellently.<\/p>\n
Having fallen out of favor under Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, Bale now has the opportunity to resurrect his career with a club he knows inside out, and prior to Spurs\u2019 Premier League match with Southampton at St Mary’s, the Welshman has admitted that he is delighted to be back at a club where he feels appreciated.<\/p>\n
“It feels great to be back. I’ve had a warm welcome,” Bale said in an interview with BT Sport\u2019s\u00a0 Peter Crouch.<\/p>\n
“It’s nice to be back in an environment where I’m loved. When you feel that love you can play your best football.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully now we can kick on this season and try and win a trophy if not two.<\/p>\n
“I’m a mature person who has grown up. I understand my game more and it’s evolved. I still have my pace.<\/p>\n
“I enjoyed my time there. The highs were very high and the lows were there. It’s time for the next chapter in my career.<\/p>\n
“There will be pressure and expectation. I feel like when I’m happy, I play my best football.<\/p>\n
“He (Mourinho) spoke to me about a few positions he would like me to play.”<\/p>\n
Everybody deserves a second chance. Let\u2019s look ahead and wait with bated breath for this once scintillating star to crank it all up again in style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
